Rejected by the shadow god

Chapter 44: "The Seer's Prophecy"

Ryder traversed the scorching desert, braved the treacherous rocky mountains, and ventured into the eerie Black Forest, driven by an unrelenting quest. He sought the wisdom of a seer, rumored to possess the ability to unravel the mysteries of the universe.

Days turned into weeks, and Ryder's determination never wavered. Finally, after months of searching, he stumbled upon a secluded hermitage, hidden deep within the heart of the Black Forest. An aged seer, shrouded in an aura of mystique, greeted Ryder.

The seer's eyes, aglow with an otherworldly intensity, pierced through Ryder's very soul. "You seek answers, Ryder," the seer declared, her voice low and mysterious. "I sense that you are connected to the threads of fate."

Ryder nodded, his heart pounding with anticipation.

The seer's gaze drifted into the distance, as if beholding a vision from beyond the realms of time. "Adrian... I mean, Adam... is back," she whispered, her words dripping with an air of foreboding. "He returns for Diana."

The seer's eyes snapped back into focus, and she fixed Ryder with a stern gaze. "That is all I shall reveal, Ryder. Return home and await the unfolding of destiny."
